The Man Who Took a Chance -- August 9, 2017

Moving Picture World, 17-February-1917

I like the design of the ads for Bluebird Photoplays. Note the radiator grille of the racing car.  The Man Who Took a Chance starred Franklyn Farnum.

"...the story need not be taken seriously." 

The Little Terror and The Rescue -- July 7, 2017

Moving Picture World, 07-July-1917

I like the design of the ads for Bluebird Photoplays.  The Little Terror starred Violet Mersereau. 

Moving Picture World, 14-July-1917

"Violet Mersereau's seventh Bluebird, "The Little Terror," was intended for release July 23, but a delay in perfecting the negative required that July 30 should be the ultimate date when the pretty blond ingenue should come again to greet her legion of admirers through a screen medium."  Rex Ingram was the director.

I also like the design for this ad for The Rescue, starring Dorothy Phillips.

The Little Orphan -- June 5, 2017

The Flashlight -- May 11, 2017

Moving Picture World, 05-May-1917

I like the design for this Bluebird Photoplays ad for The Flashlight, which starred Dorothy Phillips and Lon Chaney.  It was directed by Ida May Park, whose name I don't remember seeing before.  The movie is probably lost.
